Take all cars of that make off the road for being a danger, fine the company operating unsafe cars for a chunk of their revenue, suspend their licenses until they prove extensively that their vehicles have been made safe for traffic (the burden of proof for which would have to be far higher than a human driver, since we can’t even assume a base level of human reason).
Would this kill the company? Possibly. Would I shed a tear? Only if those same cars end up driving again without better security measures.
Honestly, should just impound all of the fleet immediately.
If the goal of the ticket is to stop the danger and enforce compliance, it has to be to the company via the entire fleet, and it must hurt them financially enough to immediately change the behavior.
I mean, you’re supposed to take the ticket when you’re pulled over, and I don’t believe we should make it easier for people who aren’t in the vehicle when driving it.
Write the ticket, hold it out at the car window, when no one takes it write “Refused”, make everyone exit, disable the vehicle until it can be towed to impound, and keep it at impound until some responsible person comes to claim it, sign the ticket, and pay the fees.
Just impound the vehicle when the driver refuses to sign, or rip the axle out.
You know, like if it had a human owner.

Tickets have never been about stopping danger, they are a fundraiser.
Corporations are people right. So why aren’t they sent all these tickets.
